By John Groh
World News Editor
Many Bethel students are
accustomed to the best life has
to offer. All Bethel students,
particularly those playing
football and soccer, will soon
be accustomed to the best athletic field in the state of Minnesota.
"With the turf we have on
there, our expectations are that
we will have the premier athletic field in the state of Minnesota, " said Craig Hjelli, Director of Physical Plant. Consultants from the field's contractor and from the University of Minnesota agree with
Hjelli that the field will be one
of the best in the state.
Bremer field will be beoken
in during the Homecoming
football game on October 5.
The playing field is a state-
of-the-art field with a 16 inch
sand and soil base. Underneath the playing field there

are drainage tiles that will help
rain water to begin draining
off of the field within minutes
after rainfall. Hj'elli commented that if an inch of rain
falls, a game could be played
an hour later.
The field will be used for
home football and soccer
games. At the present time
three football games, two
men's and two women's soccer games are scheduled to be
played on the new field.
In addition to the new field,
a new stadium has been
erected. Bremer field now has
a seating for capacity for 3,000
people. A new 2,100 seat stadium has been built on the
home side of the athletic field.
The aluminum bleachers that
were used for Bethel seating in
the past have been moved to
the visitor side of the stadium.

After a one year hiatus,
Bethel College will once
again play the homecoming
football game at home.
All home 1995 games
were played at Roseville
High School. But, Bremer
field, the campus' own football facility will be finished
and ready for play in time
for the Oct 5 Homecoming
game against Concordia
Moorehead College at
1:00pm.
Men's Athletic Director
Dave Klostreich, when
asked if the Royal's will
have a true home advantage,
said, "I think we'll have a bigger and better advantage." He
said the reason for this was
due to the players and coaches
being very exited about playing on the finished field.
Talking of the wVr'e theme
of the football game,
Klostreich said, "it's a major
attraction to bring everything
(related to Homecoming) together." He sees Homecoming
to be a festive event and a
chance for alumni to renew
friendships.
Also, starting Sep 30, Homecoming week will consist of
different activities and events.
The week starts off with a
9:30pm Homecoming Royal
Cup Kick-off in the gym.
From there, competitions in
sand volleyball, mountain
biking, powder puff football, and tug-o-war are
scheduled throughout the
week. On Oct 4, a Homecoming Banquet at 5:30 in
the gym will later be followed by a bonfire at
10:00pm at Seminary Hill.
On Homecoming Day,
Oct 5, a Halftime Flipper
Competition will be held at
the football game. In the
gym that night, a Homecoming Show and Carnival
is at 8:00pm.

road" the plan is to add concession stands and rest rooms
near the field.
Being accustomed to the
best, Bethel is also getting accustomed to paying for the
best. The price tag for the
playing and practice field
comes to a total of $300,000.
Receipts for the stadium add
up to approximately $225,000.
In addition to the price of the
field, $50,000 was donated by
a private donor for the cost of
the sod the and additions to
the sprinkler system. The
money used for the field came
out of the school's expansion
budget. The Development
Office raised money needed
for the stadium.
The new playing field and
the stadium are definitely
needed and long overdue according to Hjelli. "I feel quite
strongly that it was need
based, and long over due,"
said Hjelli. Three reasons for
the new athletic complex were
given by Hjelli; there was not
an adequate practice field for
the football team, the game
field soil and turf drainage
were very poor and the field
had poor seating and a low
press box. According to Hjelli,
the old athletic field was probably the worst in the MIAC
conference.
In addition to the completion of the athletic field, the
Robertson Center was also
completed over the summer.
A total of 13 new classrooms,
five office complexes, approximately 20 individual offices
and a new athletic training
room are now housed in the
Robertson Center. The
Robertson Center is so named
because the former name of
the building, the Physical Education Building, no longer reflected the identity of the
building.

lots at Seminary Village was
